The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas brings contemporary Bahamian art to Grand Bahama’s Canal House Gallery.
Art, nature and the enduring spirit of the islands come together in An Archipelagic Vision: Renewal, a new exhibition presented by the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas (NAGB) at Canal House Gallery, Pelican Bay Hotel, Grand Bahama.
Opened in October 2026 and curated by Letitia Pratt, Associate Curator at NAGB, the exhibition features seven Bahamian artists exploring landscape, healing, renewal and our relationship with the natural environment. The exhibition also marks a new chapter in NAGB’s efforts to bring contemporary Bahamian art beyond Nassau.
